Brett Rypien Could Get Another Start In Week 5
4 years agoDenver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien could be under center again in Week 5 on Monday night against the Patriots with Drew Lock (shoulder) questionable to play. As expected, Rypien was very up and down in his first career start against the Jets last week, going 19-for-31 for 242 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in the team's first win of the year. He probably held off Jeff Driskel for another start if Lock isn't ready to go, but Rypien will be facing much stiffer competition in the Patriots if he gets another start. It doesn't help his cause that tight end Noah Fant (ankle) won't play this week, taking away one of the team's best offensive weapons. If Rypien receives the nod, he'll be nothing more than a desperation QB2 streamer in superflex leagues.
